Tomb of the Virgin Mary (Mary's Tomb)
The staircase leading to Mary’s resting place is steep, so walk slowly and watch your step. The rock-cut tomb is unfortunately not accessible to visitors in wheelchairs or with impaired mobility.
Candles are available for purchase within the church if you’d like to light one in prayer.
The underground crypt is small and can quickly fill up with tourists, especially when tour groups arrive. Try to arrive early to avoid the crowds, or simply wait until they’ve left before descending.
The site has multi-faith roots, as Mary is revered both in Christianity and Islam. Visitors can also notice Islamic architectural features dating back to when Muslims and Christians shared access to the tomb, such as a mihrab facing the direction of Mecca.
